  2. Homogeneity and heterogeneity (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and...

    In statistics, a sequence of random variables is homoscedastic (/ ˌ h oʊ m oʊ s k ə ˈ d æ s t ɪ k /) if all its random variables have the same finite variance; this is also known as homogeneity of variance. The complementary notion is called heteroscedasticity, also known as heterogeneity of variance.

  3. Bartlett's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlett's_test

    In statistics, Bartlett's test, named after Maurice Stevenson Bartlett, [1] is used to test homoscedasticity, that is, if multiple samples are from populations with equal variances. [2] Some statistical tests, such as the analysis of variance, assume that variances are equal across groups or samples, which can be checked with Bartlett's test.

  4. Simpson's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox

    Simpson's paradox is a phenomenon in probability and statistics in which a trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined. This result is often encountered in social-science and medical-science statistics, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and is particularly problematic when frequency data are unduly given ...

  6. Cross-sectional data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-sectional_data

    In statistics and econometrics, cross-sectional data is a type of data collected by observing many subjects (such as individuals, firms, countries, or regions) at a single point or period of time. Analysis of cross-sectional data usually consists of comparing the differences among selected subjects, typically with no regard to differences in time.

  7. Welch's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch's_t-test

    In statistics, Welch's t-test, or unequal variances t-test, is a two-sample location test which is used to test the (null) hypothesis that two populations have equal means. It is named for its creator, Bernard Lewis Welch , and is an adaptation of Student's t -test , [ 1 ] and is more reliable when the two samples have unequal variances and ...

  8. Pearson's chi-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson's_chi-squared_test

    Adequate expected cell counts. Some require 5 or more, and others require 10 or more. A common rule is 5 or more in all cells of a 2-by-2 table, and 5 or more in 80% of cells in larger tables, but no cells with zero expected count. When this assumption is not met, Yates's correction is applied. Independence

  9. Panel data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_data

    In statistics and econometrics, panel data and longitudinal data [1] [2] are both multi-dimensional data involving measurements over time. Panel data is a subset of longitudinal data where observations are for the same subjects each time.
